Re: Text_Markup , some necessary evolution of Text_Wiki ?

It sounds like you are agreeing with my emails to the PEAR QA list about my version of HTML_BBCodeParser. Here are links to copies of the relevant emails. Current status of my HTML_BBCodeParser and initial maintainer proposal: http://beeblex.com/lists/index.php/php.pear.qa/3388 Changes that could be made with a redesign: http://beeblex.com/lists/index.php/php.pear.qa/3397 And I even gave the redesign the name Text_Markup: http://beeblex.com/lists/index.php/php.pear.qa/3399 I've thought about the idea some more, and I have a good idea for the design of Text_Markup. We should keep in touch. ~Seth On Jan 23, 2006, at 9:10 AM, bertrand Gugger wrote:

Bonjour, My first reaction to Text_Wiki was "huh ?" , so much files for so simple things... Later, I worked with Justin around some CMS's , then he showed me up his "home-cooked" extensions for Tiki, Doku and Cowiki. I got immediately convinced, Paul's package was indeed what wikis need for user's text rendering. Lol, then I put some pressure on Paul, so Justin and I became devs on Text_Wiki. That was in fact some continuation of that whole move , Text_Wiki is from the beginning some community effort, just take a look on all the people in source contributors, devs, buggers & patchers. Since those first released extensions, (Tiki, Doku and Cowiki), and moreover the various corrections occurred, it gave some more extensions: * BBCode parser: the model is not restricted to "wikis" , I felt a necessity for it. Text_Wiki_BBCode offers some full replacement to HTML_BBCodeParser whose deprecation is in talk. Some experimental Text_Wiki_BBCode powered pearweb was successfully tested. * under popular pressure, Text_Wiki_Mediawiki was born in late 2005. Outer the improvements what will naturally give, some next extensions will occur in the optional renderings: * pdf was planned and asked since long time * I examine the possibility to docBook a little * I have a quick made TiddlyWiki render, case somebody interested... Naturally, I'm very happy about how all things turn out, I want to thank Paul to have put that stuff in here ... and sure also the numerous contributors. Now, I believe that package has to evolve * first of all the doc is outside pear, I request it to be inside (Paul ?) (rendering docBook belongs to it) * the name "..._Wiki" itself hides the real purpose, transforming text and markup inside, I like the Text_Markup name which came out couple of time (I would hate Text_Wiki2) * we miss some global coherence tests as , say (html) <i><u> ... </i></u> and more ... I would point out Text_Markup mission cannot be to correct but refuse, eventually * the file structure of the package leads to too many files (as we accord to the 1 class/ 1 file rule) but as such we slightly don't respect the CS for naming classes and anyway: [bertrand@ancilla Text_Wiki]$ find . -name '*.php' -print | wc -l 481 the next extensions will explode that to more than 500 classes. - we lack some practical examples Sorry for such a long mail, be happy, I forgot a lot. Please, feel free to report any comment/request as it's preparing Text_(Wiki|Markup)? future.
